> Yeah, that's where I got the book.  The internet research has become a  book.

It's odd that the conservative bloggers were able to bring doubt on Dan Rather 
and the 
National Guard documents, but in the end, that's all there was: doubt.

But in the case of Bush, there's massive amounts of irrefutable evidence on 
9.11, Iraq, oil, 
the environment, and many other disasters, yet he continues to gain in the 
polls. Many 
people simply don't care about the facts, no matter how damning. In that 
matter, the web 
hasn't been successful as an information resource.

Maybe it's like the Savings and Loan scandals under Reagan; the story was too 
big, too 
complex. Bush supporters have generally a poor education; they can understand 
stories about 
kittens in trees and so on, but massive corporate fraud? It's too much.
